Restbite in Stafford

I have been to Wolseley Garden centre many many times. The restaurant is lovely, food is always nice and the carvery is always excellent. The staff are friendly and professional and the stock is good quality with a large selection..HOWEVER the toilets absolutely reek!!!!! This isn't a one off, I've actively avoided the toilets here for years however I did have to use them today and as soon as I opened the door the pungent stench of stagnant urine punched me in the face and made my eyes water. The staff have tried to cover this up by using numerous Reed diffusers, I have to say, to absolutely no avail. This needs to be rectified wether it's a sewage problem I don't know but they could do with all new toileting facilities desperately. 🤢 I really can't tell you how ill that smell made me feel. I URGE BGS to send a member of head office to this establishment to experience this. I have also emailed an enquiry about this on their website and suggested it is forwarded to head office.

My wife and I called in one Saturday afternoon and it was really quiet. After being stood at the bar for 10 minutes without seeing any member of staff I can understand why. We ended up walking out and going somewhere where they wanted our custom, personally I will not think about returning.

Went for a night out with friends spiritual night wish I hadn’t bothered really disappointed said exactly the same in secoNd half load of rubbish, as for the food not good no salad which was supposed to come with lasagna garlic bread burnt sent it back will not be going again very disappointed.

Haven’t been here for years but called in on Friday night. We’d looked a recent reviews and some didn’t sound great, but we decided to try it. We didn’t have the set two course offer as they looked abit too basic, but opted for £15ish main courses. Thai chicken curry, sea bass, beef bourgineon, and the pan fried chicken were all decent portion and well presented. Decent quality food. Staff were pleasant enough too. Our only minus was the upholstery which was ripped and had taped repairs. I know management is newish so hopefully repairs are being planned, but this lets the place down. Otherwise decor is nice. We will call again.

Ideal historic venue for breakfast from the traditional Wetherspoon's wide choice. All excellent value, served by friendly and efficient staff. Toilets were spotless, and the whole place is a real asst to the town (as it has been for 110 years).
